...The Chase...

A must win for both the teams and Punjab have done a decent first half job. They will look to continue with the momentum and make sure they stay in the playoffs contention. Same goes for Delhi as well, who will look to create pressure early on. Stay tuned as the chase is coming up.

Sarfaraz Khan is up for a quick chat. He says that the wicket is slow and they will try to give as less runs as possible inside the Powerplay and they would like to take wickets early in the innings. Tells that in the Powerplay, it is important to score quickly as it gets difficult to score quickly later on. Mentions that they wanted to up the ante in the middle overs but lost wickets in the process and tells that they will also look to take wickets at regular intervals. Talks about his scoop shot and says that it is important to read the bowler's mind while playing those shots. Says that they would have to take wickets in the Powerplay to defend this total.

Punjab will be happy with the score but just like Marsh, someone has to anchor the innings for them. Their innings was mostly thrived by spinners as they controlled the middle phase quite well and that created enormous pressure on Delhi, leading to a flurry of wickets. The seamers had to come up with variations and they did a decent job as well. Liam Livingstone though was the pick of the bowlers as he took three huge wickets of Warner, Pant and Powell.

Delhi were off to a good start thanks to a quickfire knock by Sarfaraz Khan. The middle phase saw spinners coming into action and after being in a good position, Delhi lost the plot as runs dried up and wickets started to fall. Mitchell Marsh's stay till the end helped them to reach where Delhi are. He read the pitch and played a responsible innings of 63. After his departure, Delhi missed out to finish it well.

Punjab have done really well to keep Delhi near the 160-run mark. At one stage, it looked like 170-175 pitch but it's been on the slower side and Punjab will be the happier team at the break.
